About Us
Breaking the silence around menopause in Nigeria
The Menopause Support Initiative (MSI) is Nigeria's leading menopause awareness organisation. Founded by Pharmacist Mosunmola Dosunmu, we provide education, community, and support for every woman navigating this natural phase of life.
Our Mission
To educate, support, and empower Nigerian women through every stage of menopause with evidence-based information and community care.

The Founder
Pharmacist Mosunmola Dosunmu
A registered pharmacist with a deep passion for women's health, Mosunmola Dosunmu founded the Menopause Support Initiative after witnessing how many Nigerian women suffered through menopause in silence — without information, support, or understanding from their communities.
Through MSI, she has built Nigeria's largest menopause community, authored "Menopause Unfiltered," launched a weekly radio programme on Metro 97.7FM, and organised the annual iWalk4Menopause — a 10km awareness walk across multiple cities.
Her vision is simple but powerful: no Nigerian woman should navigate menopause alone. With education, community, and professional support, every woman can own her strength through this natural transition.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where every woman navigates menopause with dignity, knowledge, and the full support of her community. Where menopause is discussed openly, understood widely, and managed effectively.
Our Mission
To educate Nigerian women about menopause through accessible, evidence-based information. To build supportive communities where experiences are shared freely. To provide professional health consultations and practical tools for managing symptoms.
